Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 580

Felicia raised an eyebrow.

The culprit sure was quick. As soon as they realized she had infiltrated the backend surveillance system, they immediately retaliated. Now, they were even trying to delete all the surveillance footage to cover their tracks once and for all!

What a wishful thinker!

Felicia also sprung into action, her fingers flying across the keyboard as she typed a series of codes, simultaneously activating another counter-surveillance program to track the hacker's location.

The hacker, clearly startled, began scrambling to erase their traces. While they were fast, Felicia was faster, closing in on them. Just as she was about to obtain their location information, the plane hit some turbulence.

That one jolt caused her to mistype one key, which allowed the hacker to escape and vanish, their presence successfully concealed.

Both of their devices returned to normal, and as expected, all the surveillance footage had been completely deleted, leaving no trace behind.

Felicia's eye twitched as she tossed her tablet aside.

Scarlet had been watching the entire battle with great interest. An outsider wouldn't understand the intensity of the fight, but Scarlet had some knowledge herself, so she could fully appreciate how fierce the clash between Felicia and the hacker had been.

They went back and forth, each counteracting the other, trying to hack each other's system and crash the opponent's device!

It was a battle of speed and skill.

Felicia almost won. If it hadn't been for the turbulence that caused her to lose focus for just a second, the hacker would've been out of luck.

Scarlet swirled her wine glass and took a sip, finishing it off before asking, "Do you know that missing woman?"

"Not exactly. I've only met her once."

Felicia leaned back on the couch, glancing at her hand. Her voice was soft as she said, "I almost killed her. Just a little bit more, and she would've been dead."

"Huh?" Scarlet perked up, curious. "Care to elaborate?"

She didn't believe that Felicia would have almost killed someone for no reason, unless… It was when she had lost control of herself.

The cases came from different cities, locations, and circumstances, but they all followed the same pattern—families reported their daughters missing and posted missing persons notices. However, since the cases didn't generate much public interest, they didn't gain much traction.

Felicia casually browsed through the comments on the posts, and the most frequent response was, "Missing? With looks like that, she probably ran off with a guy!"

What a disgusting comment!

Felicia furrowed her brows.

A string of missing person cases, and all of them involved young women.

The one who was missing the longest had been gone for two months, while the most recent one, including Jennifer, had only been missing for a day.

Was this a coincidence?

Felicia tapped the table and looked at Scarlet. "When we get to Seldvale, I need you to help me find a few people to look into this. Start with the most recent case of Jeniffer's disappearance and track down her boyfriend to see if he knows anything."
